KIRITIMATI (Christmas Islands) Travel Advisory No.1
Air Pacific
has announced that effective immediately the air service between
Nadi (Fiji), Kiritimati (Christmas Island) and Honolulu has been
suspended.
The business community and specifically tourism operators on the
island will be badly affected by the suspension of these flights.
The Government of Kiribati has announced a temporary service utilising
the services of a Gulfstream that will travel between Honolulu
and Kiritmati (Christmas) Island.
We are endeavouring to commence this service on the 9th September
with weekly services following. A flat fare of $1042 USD return
will be tarriffed. Strict 20kg baggage limits will apply.
For potential tourists and travellers seeking to utilise this
service please contact Mr Bill Paupe on +001 864 5494 or email
kiribaticonsul@aol.com
A longer term replacement arrangement is our most urgent priority,
and we will issue updates as appropriate.
We are hopeful that visiting fisherman will reschedule rather
than cancel their appointment to tussle with the bone fish the
island is famous for.
All passengers with forward bookings should contact their travel
agent or relevant airline for further information on their arrangements.
